If the options are disabled, the local copies will be stored in a subdirectory of your calibre configuration directory called 'iTunes storage'. Quote:

And even apart from the network backend, linking itunes to files in the calibre library is not a good design. Say you change the title/author in calibre, itunes will lose track of the file. |

I take it this only applies to people use use iBooks (for example) as eBooks transferred this way to the iPhone or iPad cannot be 'seen' by Stanza. (I can't comment on other eBook readers as I havent tried them.)
Any clarification will be appreciated. |

It does not affect using calibre's content server to transfer ebooks directly to an iOS reader app via Safari, or using OPDS-enabled apps (like Stanza) which can talk to calibre's content server. G Last edited by GRiker; 06-25-2011 at 04:48 PM. |

You will have the option to continue to use a local library if you so desire. The iTunes driver however, has to be able to work with both types of storage backends.

I apologize in advance for being such a doofus, but does this only affect apple products/readers? I've only just gotten Calibre and I'm still getting to know it and now I don't know whether to update or not....

I've revised the initial post in this thread to be correct for the next (0.8.8) release. After 0.8.8 is released, I'll unstick this thread and start a new sticky with just the revised contents of the first post so we can have a fresh start.
